Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 2/4] context_tracking: Rename context_tracking_user_enter/exit() to user_enter/exit_callable()
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 08:20:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908122026.2052281-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908122026.2052281-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit f163f0302ab69722c052519f4014814bf10026a9 ]

context_tracking_user_enter() and context_tracking_user_exit() are
ASM callable versions of user_enter() and user_exit() for architectures
that didn't manage to check the context tracking static key from ASM.
Change those function names to better reflect their purpose.

[ frederic: Apply Max Filippov feedback. ]
